The toilet drain, currently has the sink waste going into it and the
remainder just blocked up with a rubble sack scrunched up.

Seems to work as no smells get up into the shed.

And I bet the sink waste has got a trap on it!

You say you want to save a couple of bob. It will cost you around a
fiver from a shed to buy a proper Washing Machine trap and prevent
drain smells entering the building. As someone has pointed out already,
building regs require you to have a trap.
